Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH V2] Decouple SnadyBridge quirk form VTd timeout

["Dugger, Donald D" <donald.d.dugger@xxxxxxxxx>]

My primary goal is to decouple the IGD quirk code from the VTd timeout value, 
the two are unrelated and shouldn't be using the same define.  In the process 
we can clean up the IGD code so that, if a user wants, the user can specify a 
more appropriate timeout value for the quirk code.  There's no need to change 
the current behavior of the flag, just give the user more options.

But it's the purpose of the patch to change this.
